On 31 July 2015, Veretout joined Birmingham-based Premier League club Aston Villa on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £7 million.[5] Manager Tim Sherwood praised the player, saying, "I know Veretout is very highly rated over in France."[5] Veretout made his first official appearance for Aston Villa in a 1–0 victory against A.F.C. Bournemouth on 8 August 2015.[6]
